Off-topic, but that's an awesome name.

I remember the Aquila TV series, in the UK, fondly. Enough that I tracked down the books to read.

You could have some serious fun with a battle cruiser!

It’s bizarre how much I remember of that show, none of the Latin though.

Same! Weirdly remember this programme more than most. The episode where it stops working until the dad cleans it specifically!

Aquila means "eagle" in Italian.

There's also a city with the name Aquila, or "L'Aquila", where L' equates to "the", in the Abruzzo region. [0]

There was/is also a BBC TV show from late 90s about a "spacecraft" of the same name[1].
